CONFECTIONERY AT RAILWAY STATIONS
"That representations be made to the Railway Department that it is undesir- *
able that the Department should etock confectionery at its refreshment rooms, except that made in 2f«w Zealand," was the text of a motion moved by Mr. C. J. Ward at the Industrial Conference animal meeting yesterday. Mr. Ward said that the only confectionery coming to 2few Zealand from outside was from neutral countries, and there was a good deal of suspicion that a large amount of German capital was interested in it.
Mr. Vickerman pointed out that the exportation of British confectionery was prohibited, and he did not see why they should allow any oilier country to benefit therefrom.
' Mr. Harbut ventured the opinion that the motion would receive a. good deal of opposition, as the Finance Minister would want all the revenue he could get, and ho could get no revenue from New Zealand-made confectionery.
Mr. "Norwood said that the motion made no reference to importations.
The motion was agreed to, and on the suggestion of Mr. Harbut ii was decided to make representations to the Minister of Customs on the subject of pro-, hibiting the importation of foreign-m;>do confectionery.
